Hive Mind by The Auric Design Lyrics
[Intro]
Locked in a swarm of hands they held up to our ears, calloused with fear and afraid to trade power for peace, within a system that feeds their deceit, they prey on the weak
[Pre-Verse]
Their voices raised, and their fingers positioned
A smile on their face as they pass out affliction
Violence, as the lesser is scorned
The follower is praised if they worship the war
[Verse 1]
I disconnected from the hive mind
Before it pulled me inside it’s control
Behind their front of aversion
Spirits too blind to see the ghost in our souls
[Pre-Chorus]
I still seek a higher place, one devoid of illusion
[Chorus]
Feeling the weight of my silence that pulls me down; the comfort in conformity made no sound
I won’t be hung by the iron strings of man-kind
[Breakdown]
Every word fired from your mouth has withered, only the ruins remain
[Interlude]
Perception of knowledge and vision
Force fed from birth, no decision
[Chorus]
Feeling the weight of my silence that pulls me down, the comfort in conformity made no sound
I won’t be hung by the iron strings
[Verse 2]
I disconnected from the hive mind, before it pulled me inside
So I refused to suffer and bow my head in disguise
[Breakdown]
Puppets - bound by cords and threads to a spiritual world
[Outro]
Separate the ties, fall into the unknown
Locked in a swarm of hands they held up to our ears, calloused with fear and afraid to trade power for peace, within a system that feeds their deceit, they prey on the weak
[Pre-Verse]
Their voices raised, and their fingers positioned
A smile on their face as they pass out affliction
Violence, as the lesser is scorned
The follower is praised if they worship the war
[Verse 1]
I disconnected from the hive mind
Before it pulled me inside it’s control
Behind their front of aversion
Spirits too blind to see the ghost in our souls
[Pre-Chorus]
I still seek a higher place, one devoid of illusion
[Chorus]
Feeling the weight of my silence that pulls me down; the comfort in conformity made no sound
I won’t be hung by the iron strings of man-kind
[Breakdown]
Every word fired from your mouth has withered, only the ruins remain
[Interlude]
Perception of knowledge and vision
Force fed from birth, no decision
[Chorus]
Feeling the weight of my silence that pulls me down, the comfort in conformity made no sound
I won’t be hung by the iron strings
[Verse 2]
I disconnected from the hive mind, before it pulled me inside
So I refused to suffer and bow my head in disguise
[Breakdown]
Puppets - bound by cords and threads to a spiritual world
[Outro]
Separate the ties, fall into the unknown
